A two storey Victorian terraced house was extended and fully renovated to create a home for a young family.

The former rear reception room accommodates an open plan Cloak Room and Utility Space, which is connected to the kitchen by a 16m long concrete worktop that continues into the garden.

The renovation of the existing property retains original features and employs complementary period fittings. Panelled sliding doors between the Cloak Room and Utility Space mark the boundary between the traditional styling and contemporary kitchen dinner. These doors provide separation when the open plan arrangement is not desirable.

The kitchen is supported with a delicate steel frame which contrasts the solidity of the concrete worktop. A stainless steel worktop complements the ovens and fridge behind and sets the island apart from the concrete element. An antique mirror splash back behind the sinks and beneath the large roof window reflects light deep into the kitchen.
